2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 1 and its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing to the left. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle, passing through the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to both lefthand sides of triangle 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the righthand angular point of octagon 2. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 seven times, to the other angular points of octagon 2. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 4. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 9, pointing up. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 10. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the intersections of circle 6 and upper righthand circle 7 with the righthand side of octagon 2 just above the horizontal centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 four times, the first to the righthand intersection of circle 11 and the horizontal centerline, the others consecutively to the corresponding intersection of its preceding one. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct four circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to circles 13 at the righthand sides. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle, tangent to the outer circle 14 at the upper righthand side, tangent to circle 6 at the upper lefthand side, and tangent to the upper righthand circle 7 at the lower lefthand side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 to the righthand intersection of outer circle 14 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the righthand side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 15, tangent to circle 17 at the upper righthand side. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed octagon of a circle concentric to circle 1 and passing through the center of circle 18, with one angular point coincident with that center. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 18 seven times, to the other angular points of octagon 19. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the center of circle 12 and its tangent point with circle 6. | |||
22. | ![]() | Copy circle 21 to the center of circle 18. | |||
23. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 22 at both sides. | |||
24. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circle 6 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to outer circle 23 at the righthand side. | |||
25. | ![]() | Copy circle 24 to the center of circle 6. | |||
26. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 25 at the righthand side. | |||
27. | ![]() | Circles 1, 6, 7, 11, 14, 18, 20, 23, and 26, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
28. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
29. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
30. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Buckle Street formation of 26-05-2014. pdf-file | |||
